Schedule Changes due to COVID-19

The Metro New Jersey Chapter is following the recommendations of the CDC and the AQB for classroom and Virtual Classes. You must have video and audio capability on your computer, phone or tablet to take Virtual Classes. You cannot take a class for credits from a vehicle. In addition Virtual education for previously approved classroom education is accepted in several states, but not all states. Virtual education has been extended for 2021, but this is a state by state option. New Jersey is following the AQB guidelines which is extending Virtual education in place of classroom education.
